Lancom Advanced VPN Client NCP driver error / licence error under Windows 10

My Lancom Advanced VPN Client Version 3.0 showed an "NCP driver error" under Windows 10.
I downgraded to 8.1 and it worked OK again.

I then found on the LANCOM support page, i have to wait for version 3.02 which will work with Windows 10.

After the release of 3.02 i upgraded my VPN client software and then upgraded to Windows 10 again.
Unfortunately, under Windows 10, the software kept compaining about being not activated or an invalid licene.

How-I-fixed-it:
I did a profile backup, deactivated and uninstalled the software and did a fresh install.
